How can you find out speed of sound with help of a resonance tube?

With a fork of known frequency, the first resonating length is found. Then by lowering down the level of water in the resonance column tube the second resonating length is found. This secondlength will be approximately three times the first resonating length Now using the following formula one can calcualte the speed of sound. Speed of sound = 2 x frequency x (Second length - first length)


What are two examples of sound communication tools?

Two examples of sound communication tools are telephones, which allow for real-time verbal communication over long distances, and public address systems, which are used to broadcast messages to a large audience in public spaces.


How do people use sound waves?

Sound is the perception of changes in pressure in the air.Slow changes of pressure cannot be heard. Once the changes happen faster than 20 times a second, you start to hear sound. Above 16,000 changes per second and it goes beyond human perception.You need air (or any gas) for sound to exist. Sound cannot be heard in a vacuum.


A 1056 tuneing fork is struck and you hear 3 beats per second what is the frequency of the piano?

A tuning fork is a two-pronged steel device that is used by musicians. When a 1056-Hz tuning fork is struck at the same time a piano note is played, and 3 beats per second is emitted, the frequency of the piano is 1059 Hz.


Why there are two holes in sonometer box?

The two holes in a sonometer box are used for passing the string or wire that holds the vibrating tuning fork or a weight. This allows the string to vibrate freely and produce a clear sound, which is crucial for accurate measurements in experiments involving sound waves.

Does the sound on a tuning fork get louder if you hit it harder?

It does get louder! It increases the amplitude of the sound wave


What fundamental characteristics of the sound produced by a tuning fork depends on its frequency?

The characteristics that determine the frequency with which a tuning fork will vibrate are the length and mass of the tines.


How are amplitude of vibrations generated?

by the cycle of a tuning fork.


What can you get when you combine quartz sound magnets and a tuning fork?

A tuning fork combined with a quartz sound magnet.


What kind of wave does a tuning fork create when it vibrates?

A tuning fork creates a sound wave when it vibrates.


How are sound waves generated in air by a tuning fork?

When a tuning fork is struck, it vibrates and creates compressions and rarefactions in the air, which travel as sound waves.


What is the frequency of the tuning fork sound?

The frequency of a tuning fork sound refers to the number of vibrations it makes per second. It is measured in Hertz (Hz).


What has more harmonics in its sound a tuning fork or guitar?

A guitar is a far more complex structure than a tuning fork, and has more harmonics. The whole design of a tuning fork is intended to give as simple and pure a sound as possible, since that is the easiest type of sound to use when you are trying to tune an instrument. You wouldn't want harmonics in a tuning fork.


How waves are created and propagate when a tuning fork is struck?

Because of the tuning fork's vibrations. It creates compressional sound waves.


What type of waves are produced by a tuning fork vibrating in air?

The tuning fork produces sound waves when it vibrates in air.


Does the strength to strike the tuning fork effect the speed of sound in a vibrating air column?

No The strength you strike it will affect the overall volume, or intensity or amplitude of the sound. However, the speed of vibration (frequency or pitch) will remain constant. That is the point of a tuning fork. It can be used to tune musical instruments because it has a reproducible frequency or pitch.


A tuning fork of frequency 300Hz will resonate if a sound wave incident on it has a frequency of what?

300Hz is the natural frequency of the tuning fork hence if a sound wave of same frequency hits the fork then RESONANCE occurs
